Bionicpup64-23 - v2 released - an update of original

Post by ozsouth »

Bionicpup64-23 v2 (379mb). An update of original. Now has Firefox-esr 115.8.0 & Firefox path fix.

I made this pup as it's the oldest base pup my i5 will run.
I don't intend to update this, but .pets may be added & maybe a bugfix. Thanks to (especially) PhilB for original.
Has security updates, kernel 5.10.182, a few small tweaks & (updateable) Firefox esr as adrv.
iso made with pCompress - makes bootable CD (efi & legacy). Use at own risk.

v2 corrected iso (6 mar 24) here: https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... i-23v2.iso

Extras (in puppy .sfs):

updated busybox, wget, openssl, curl, ca-certificates.
makesusplid - ensures laptop suspends upon lid close & resumes on open (runs on startup via /etc/init.d)
setblt - brightness setter - can set in terminal - default is setblt 5 (50% - runs on startup via /etc/init.d)
setspot - sets spot folder & all under it to owner spot - user actioned
updatesfsf - to add/remove sfs contents, place sfs in blank folder, cd into it & run - user actioned
poorercputemp - sets cpu temp on taskbar (max. display 99)
BlankCD-DVD - user actioned
Burniso2CD-DVD - user actioned

Some .pets (use at own risk). Install by clicking on downloaded .pet in ROX-Filer:

Anydesk 6.1.1 - Entry in Network menu. Needs correct locale & timezone set.
May need to start, quit & start again & wait when first run.
https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... -611-u.pet

Flashprojector & 6 games - Entry in Fun menu; games in /opt/flash
https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... hgms-u.pet

Masterpdf4 editor - Entry in Document menu.
https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... pdf4-u.pet

Libreoffice 6.4 - Eventually puts entry in Document menu. Default saves to /root/Documents , in ms2007- format.
Is set to US - to change this, when open, go to: tools/options/language settings/languages - edit locale & western settings.

Zoom - Can avoid installing zoom & use website access: https://app.zoom.us/wc/

wl & rtl8821ce wireless drivers for kernel 5.10.182 in the forum Drivers section.

RE - Firmware:

Firmware was reduced - to see if any missing, in a terminal run: dmesg | grep irmware
Many firmware files can be found at: https://github.com/isavl/linux-firmware
These go in /lib/firmware (sometimes in subfolders of that).

RE - Web Browsers:

FirefoxESR (adrv) is designed to run as spot. To run as root, edit /usr/local/bin/firefox64esr , & remove 'run-as-spot'. Updater (in Internet menu) is for 'run-as-spot' only - updates should be offered automatically if running as root.
Updater method (for run-as-spot ONLY): To update Firefox, close it, & click Update Firefox (in Internet Menu). This temporarily runs Firefox as root - necessary to allow update. Then click Menu (3 bars on top right) then click Help, then click About Firefox. Will update if possible & then restart needed. Then close Firefox, then open it from icon - updated version runs, as user spot.
